timezone returned is wrong when targeting VC.

[deepakmits]

I have created application where I am targetting to VC and collecting stats data using perfQuery(). VC is in GMT+5:30 timezone and it can be seen from MOB and also box hosting VC.

After executing query -> (PerfEntityMetric) pValues[j]).getSampleInfo().getTimeStamp().getTimeZone() gives Timezone as "GMT".

I want to know what is going wrong here ? from where this API picks timezone ? or where to configure the timezone for VC so that it gets picked thru queryPerf API ?

Thanks,

Deepak

The time returned is the local time on the server and not your client's time. The time from the vmware server (i.e., service.CurrentTime(...)) i.e. CurrentDateTime is meant to return a GMT value only.

May be you can use a delta from your local time.

I agree that it service.currentTime always shows GMT. But I am talking about the stats data which say I got for some ESX or VM . then sampleInfo along with data is giving time zone as GMT where as the time stamp is local timestamp(GMT+5:30).
